The deal reached with world powers and Iran over the Islamic republic's nuclear program is cast by supporters as a historic treaty, while critics, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, call it a "historic mistake."

How both sides see the deal:

The Good:

‚?ĘIt "temporarily freezes" Tehran's nuclear program.

‚?ĘIran must convert or dilute its fuel stocks that are closest to weapons grade, lengthening the breakout time Iran would need to make fissile material for a nuclear bomb.

‚?ĘThe West has not recognized Iran's self-claimed "right" to enrich uranium.

‚?ĘThe deal paves the way for more negotiations to further curtail Iran's nuclear activity and other issues such as its sponsoring of terror.

‚?ĘIran vows not to operate its planned plutonium reactor for six months.
